KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Your nesting instincts are stronger and home becomes your haven. You continue to enjoy time in the outside world but direct most of your energies into family life. Close friends also benefit from your nurturing.
TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
You have a good head for practical tasks and a strong heart to handle emotional issues. Others love that can-do attitude of yours and turn to you for inspiration, advice and a shoulder to lean on.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Usually fired up with new ideas, it seems inspiration has dried up. Fortunately this is only a temporary lapse and you can use the lull to make practical plans. Your ruler Mercury is currently moving backwards.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
A recent corner you turned has provided a new lease of life. Someone who enters your life appears heaven-sent, adding further delight to an already fulfilling situation. Soak up the good vibes while you can.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
The sense of relief you feel now a problem has been solved is almost palpable. Chances are you took your eye off the ball but the lesson learned ensures you will not make the same mistake again.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Communication is usually your strong suit but with Mercury moving in a backward motion, wires could suddenly get crossed. The key is to articulate messages and requests clearly, while double-checking all the details.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Put yourself in the shoes of another person before condemning his or her actions. People and situations are not as they seem right now and hasty or harsh judgements could cause you embarrassment or regret.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Bountiful planets are working to your advantage. They provide a wellspring of ideas, the courage to carry them out and support from other people. A dream comes closer to reality during this highly active phase.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
If you fail first time around, put your contingency plan into action. There is more than one way to achieve an aim today and you thank clever foresight for having back-up arrangements in place.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Now that you have been given the green light in a project, the excitement grows. Those who helped you reach this stage deserve acknowledgement and appreciation, as well as a share of the spoils.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
You prefer to work independently yet crave the company of others. This dilemma is a cause of constant concern and makes it difficult to get a run on. Try harder to separate your private and public lives.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
A goal that has eluded you inches ever closer. Now with extra effort and a little luck, you find yourself on the verge of that all-important breakthrough. Past patience is about to bring its own rewards.
YOUR DAY
A dose of realism causes people to go to extremes. There is a strong sense of power in the stars and for wise heads to prevail a conscious effort must be made to remain grounded. Tempers might be frayed.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
With renewed determination, you leap over obstacles and meet ambitious targets. Saturn, the planet of authority, is at a compatible angle to your sign. You now learn lessons faster and exploit opportunities with uncanny success.
